Corey started of the morning with finding a kayak paddle, which turned out being a treasure if we only would have had more time.. When returning the paddle they gave us a free days rental with the kayak, but we had already decided to hit up the bus and go to Wai Pio Valley ("Jurassic Park Valley") so we had to say Thank you but no thank you. They then made sure we got a quick hitch up to the top of the Valley instead, which maybe ended up being worth more? It would really have sucked to hike all the way up..
While waiting for the bus, we had a duty; Postcards. Just to the closest family tho, it's hard to send to everyone! I still love you tho! ;)
At the post office I finally got rid of my microwave bowl with noodles.. It need to be said in the blog, cause Corey tried to make me throw them away for about a week. But I was thinking, that maybe if we got a hold of a microwave I could have eaten it... Anyways, I gave it to an old lady, she got really happy and they lived happily ever after.
Then it was time to laugh some, down the road we saw a random bus. Corey was pessimisticabout us making it down the road, but finally take off running with all his packing and shopping bags - and little did we know; it was going our direction and we didn't have to wait hours for our bus. On the bus we met this really awesome lady and her grandkids. She was in her 60's but she didn't look a day over 40. At the mall they guide us to the food; PIZZA... to Coreys delight. It was good, but this guy seriously need to come and have a Börje Special with us in Åmål. For sure, he doesn't know what he's missing out on.
We get on the next bus and Parteeeeey! We finally get a cool bus driver! $1 for both our bags (you pay $1 for bags, if you got no bags, the bus is free) and he brings on the music! The ride goes pretty fast, nothing exciting. We get off at our stop and this random guy comes and tell us 'the joke of the day'. Funny how random people can be sometimes, anyways, funny guy.
We end up having to hitch back a little bit and we have a good flow and get a ride all the way to Wai Pio, which turns out being a place we visited during the grand tour. Excited we start hiking down the valley and it's the steepest road I've ever walked. Oh my goodness! Again; the scenery was awesome! It turns out it's the steepest road/hill in the whole Hawaii! But we made it nicely with all our packing, gear and with shaking knees! It was so funny every time we stopped and the legs shook more than on a skeleton! Phew, a nice work out ;)
Some Canadians gave us a last hint on what way to go and we made it right on time; the sun was setting.
We tried to cross the river afterwards with no success and after a while we see this bright light and just like bugs, we get drawn to it. We end up in some locals back yard. Not the greatest success either. We came in with all our packing and gear through the woods straight in to their back yard were all the kids were playing. They weren't as fun ass all other locals we've met, but however, they did show us a spot were we probably would get away with camping.
With a set campground and a blogged Corey we just laid in the grass and watched the stars (yes again, it's just the most beautiful thing you can do at night) and then Corey take the camera and the tripod and we take pictures of the sky! Imagine, a camera that can capture the stars! The camera must be one of the best inventions! (Next after the wheel, I have never appreciated the invention of the wheel as much as on this trip!!)
While watching the night sky I was in heaven!
